Can we talk?

It's Christmas Evening

    The presents have been opened. The meal was served, and it was delicious. Pictures were taken, the little one entertained the adults, phone calls were exchanged, and short naps were taken. The dishwasher has finished running, and the first two rounds of guests have departed. I've cleaned up and walked around the outside in the snow which is still falling. I've even transferred the pictures from the camera to the computer. The house is quiet except for the evening news.

    A month of preparation and anticipation. It's over now. We can take a big, deep breath and relax. . . at least until the next big project begins.

    I hope that everyone who reads this will find true peace and happiness. Merry Christmas to us all, and a good night.
